Goodbye 2008

A quick recap of the year 2008 before it bids us goodbye forever!!! As is tradition, click here and here for 2006 and 2007 respectively.


January: My birthday! And had a 'surprise' for me by my uni friends during our steamboat dinner. (Thank you!) Went to the Curve with CY and Chian for TGIFs!


February: CNY eve fell on the same day as Ash Wednesday (A day where Catholics are to fast and abstain from meat. So how?) We replaced it with another day officially lo. :)


March: Easter!! And also the month where I fell sick (food poisoning) and had to skip my genetic tutorial and MB lecture... hahaha.


April: Exams again.. and genetics really killed me... but results were ok. Thank God!!


May: My first overseas trip!! To the US! A very wonderful and certainly an eye-opening experience. :D Thank you mom and dad!! Hey, I paid for my food and other other stuff though. Haha.


June: Went to Genting and experienced my first step in a real casino surrounding. Felt like a katak di bawah tempurung. And realised that superstitions are really going on strong in there! Like no. 4 and others.


July: Can't think of any significant events... just that a lot of people's birthday fell in this month. Charlene's, Chian's, Jenny's, Flora's and many more!


August: My beloved grandmother passed away... I still do miss her dearly. Almost everyday. Went to Malacca with a bunch of guys and Chian! Had loads of fun. Haha. Attended CKK's lifeline conference, where I was mistaken for a Japanese, a Korean, and a native from China. By three different people. Hahaha.


September: Made the effort to attend the oral presenation of seniors who had the same topic as I did though I felt lazy. Huh. Exams!!!


October: Another overseas trip. To Bali island! With Jenny, Lin and two others. Another amazing experience with cultures other than my own. (Not to mention another hole in my pocket.) Was mistaken for a Korean again. Hahaha. (Yea, I'm enjoying this.) And, the start of my Final Year project! Thank God that it is almost over. :P


November: I lost my umbrella and magnetic bracelet in a space of just three days!! Sigh... what a klutz! Went to PD for a church retreat/ formation.


December: A rare family trip to Penang island and during my study week too. Hehehe. And another addition to our home - an adorable puppy!!! (more on this later)

Let's just say that my December was very eventful... both good and bad events. Sigh. And keep it at that.

To Mr. KT

This post is written in honour of (no, scratch that), is written with the objective to give someone a piece of my mind. (Want my cerebrum or medulla oblongata?) Firstly, this person complained that I did not update my blog often enough. Then he said, "Kenny Sia updates everyday." Yeah right, it's not everyday la Tai Kor! And why compare me to him? I'm so tiny and puny in the blogsphere. Heh. Anyway, I'm super busy and super tired and has had no inspiration whatsoever to blog about anything till today. (Thanks to somebody...) Before I go into the second part, for all those who have yet to hear about it, (it's been publicized in her FB), my sister, Eileen is now formally engaged to her sweetheart of six, seven years. Congrats to my dear dear sister. Finally, eh? Hahah. The second part is related to this. Not referring to my sis, but me. Our good friend who complained that I don't update often, had the gall/balls (Grr...) to 'insult' me. When I sh...

30 Day Blog Journal

Image
Sometimes, we bloggers run out of topics to talk/write about. Then we sit and stare at our computers, racking our brains, hoping something will crop up. More often than not, what pops up are silly, stupid and gives people the "What?" impression kind of posts. Hence to be more "organized" and so-called creative, I have decided to jump on the bandwagon as well and do a 30 day blog journal thingie. I am not sure if you have to do it 30 days straight or you can take 30 days to complete, by which could take me the whole year basically... Defeats the purpose doesn't it? Hahaha. I'll try to complete it in 30 days straight, becasue who knows, halfway through, something exciting crops up right? Here's the list of what you can expect in the coming days. Day 1 – your favorite song Day 2 – your favorite movie Day 3 – your favorite television program Day 4 – your favorite book Day 5 – your favorite quote Day 6 – 20 of my favorite things Day 7 – a photo tha...

Of Vampires and Werewolves

I've never really been an ardent fan of the Twilight series(boo...says you). And I have no idea why some girls go gaga over Edward the vampire. He looks so paste-y with the bloodshot eyes (yea yea he's supposed to look that way). And bleah! I think he looked way hotter in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Cedric Diggory . That, I can go gaga. But in Twilight??? The romance between Edward and Bella is fine. Romantic, mushy and cliched. Heh. But there's nothing much for me to shout about. (Sorry to the ardent fans, esp to my three sisters. Ha.) This year, the next sequel in this series is about to be released tentatively in November. Known as New Moon , the title is definitely appropriate since the werewolves play a bigger role this time. I didn't read any of the books in the Twilight series though my sisters finished the whole lot of it. So there's no doubt I have no idea of what's going on in the next book. But judging from this trailer of the next sequ...
